Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.


Thought: An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation. Solving this problem does not require use of the Pythagorean identity.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to reason about the various measurements of a circle. In each of the pictures, students are given a piece of information about the circle and asked to reason about the other measurements of the circle. Some of these measurements can be found based on the given information while others, without a calculator, would require an estimate.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 1 minute of quiet think time followed by 2 minutes to discuss their estimates with a partner.
Student Facing
Here are some pictures of circular objects, with measurement tools shown. The measurement tool on each picture reads as follows:
Wagon wheel: 3 feet
Plane propeller: 24 inches
Sliced Orange: 20 centimeters

For each picture, which measurement is shown?
Based on this information, what measurement(s) could you estimate for each picture?

Activity Synthesis
For each picture, ask selected students to share the measurements shown in the pictures. Ask students to explain the strategies or calculations they would use for computing or estimating other measurements (for example, the radius and circumference of the wheel). Record and display student responses on the actual pictures. Refer to MLR 2 (Collect and Display) to highlight student responses and language about what they know and what they estimated.
